Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

When calling special services (such as alternate long distance or bank-by- phone), dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and enter the num- ber for the location where the additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire depart- ment, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to ex- plain the reason for your call.

USING A HEADSET

You can talk on the phone with hands-free convenience using an optional headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5-mm) plug. Contact your local RadioShack store for a suit- able headset.

To connect the headset, pull open the rubber cover marked on the side of the handset, then insert the headset’s plug into the jack.

Notes:

•Connecting a headset disconnects the handset’s earpiece and micro- phone.

•VOLUME on the handset also con- trols the connected headset’s vol- ume.

•If you place the handset on the base to recharge while the headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.

With a headset connected, you can make or answer calls as usual using the keys on the handset.

You can use a handset holder (available from your local RadioShack store) to hang the handset on your belt for greater convenience.

When you finish using the headset, dis- connect it from the handset and close the rubber cover to protect the jack.
